daughters desirable as heiresses. The por-
ton that fell t., Ida. who married Colonel
Nicholas Smith, has, it appears, been en-

precipitation of moisture increases the
further north you 60, and news came
about a month ago that the farmers in the
vicinity of Regina. along the Canadian Pa
oiic, were obliged to abandon their farms
on account OF the lack OF %irrigating facili-
ties. They are further north a good deal
than the bench lands around Great Falls,
but are OF no account for agricultural pur-
poses without irrigation, which cannot be
procured there. The Great Falls people
are really doing themselves an inju y by
this ostrich-fike policy. By asserting that
the land in the neighborhood of the tow
is not desert land they will bring settlers
there on false pretences who will give the
land a worse black eye by leaving it as The
farmers on the Canadian Pacific have don,
than by admitting it to be desert land, a.
it really is, but capable of producing good
results by cultivation with irrigation.

The town Of Litchield. ILL.,, has earned
On unenviable notoriety lately. The
drouth which is no" affecting the States
along the southern portion of tho Missis-
sippi Valley has afflicted the lower part Of
Illinois severely. Streams are dried up and
farmers nave to haul water for their stock

citizens are profi,ing. by their %neighbors'
